"The relations and multiple-choice options are the most valuable features. For example, if I have one client but multiple projects in the same client, it's much easier to map it with Airtable than if I use a Google Sheet. The relationship between interfaces is a key feature that I use very often."
"Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities.

"I like the ability to customize so that we can create a system that works for us, and easily iterate it as things change."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Being able to see your own personal specific projects makes it that much more accessible a program and is great for work productivity."
